Blindside: A Reflection on U.S. Troops' actions at a prison, like Abu Ghraib in Iraq

Through a Glass Darkly: The U.S. Holocaust in Central America

Tuesday, October 23, 2007
Crown Center Auditorium, Lake Shore Campus

Through a Glass Darkly: The U.S. Holocaust in Central America, by Thomas H. Melville describes Iowa-farmer-turned-Maryknoll-missionary Ron Hennessey's conversion from being an unapologetic patriot from America's heartland to a staunch opponent of Ronald Reagan's policies in Central America - policies that occasionally threatened Hennessey's life. Hennessey's story has a subtext: America's ideals of freedom, democracy, and progress-with-justice have been violated abroad by one U.S. president after another. A must read for anyone who wants to understand America's foreign policy of the past 50 years!

Presenters Tom Melville and George Mische have extensive backgrounds in U.S. foreign policy and U.S. involvement in Vietnam, Latin America and the Middle East. They have spent over 40 years bringing awareness to the American public regarding the deadly U.S. international entanglements around the world and have worked extensively to change the U.S. government's public policies.

Join us Tuesday, Oct. 23rd, 7pm, at The Crown Center Auditorium, Lake Shore Campus. The event is free and open to the public. Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event. Parking information may be obtained at www.luc.edu/parking/visitor.shtml.

Barbara Martinez Jitner
Femicide at Our Border: To Be a Woman in Juarez is a Death Sentence

Wednesday, October 24, 2007.
Galvin Auditorium, Loyola University Chicago

The border town of Juarez, Mexico has been nicknamed "The Capital of Murdered Women" because more than 400 women have been found raped, mutilated, and murdered. Almost all of these women work in American-owned factories, all created by NAFTA. Barbara Martinez Jitner's lecture will give a personal look at the crippling poverty and gender discrimination that has made NAFTA's "expendable workforce" — expendable human beings. Working with Amnesty International and superstar Jennifer Lopez, Jitner will outline steps that will empower listeners so they may stop the femicide that is occurring only 50 yards away from the United States.

*Co-sponsored by The Women.s Studies Program, Gannon Center for Women and Leadership, Latin American Studies, International Studies, the Center for Ethics, and the Communication Department.
